Today I had a lovely afternoon tea at a cafe called Allans near Bond Street Station.  It is truly lovely, with a comfortable atmosphere. The patisserie was extremely busy, but the staff were attentive and friendly nonetheless.  I appreciated the inviting decor and was thoroughly impressed by the quality of the sugar.  It might sound snobby, but I really didn’t realize what I was missing…

This evening Drew and I are meeting my friends Cassi, Cayla, and Mr & Mrs Holmes for dinner at Caffe Uno.  I am so excited that they are getting to visit my new home!  I might get to meet the extended family before they head home!  (Mrs. 007, if you think about it, please be sure to tell your parents that I got to see the Holmes/Clark family while they were here!)
